If you’re thinking of getting one of these for a child or teenager to start out on, let’s just say that the Bluetooth features are a big selling point. Pairing the keyboard to a nearby device, such as a mobile phone or tablet, is simple to achieve. Once connected, you can stream audio from your device through the speakers in the GO-61K and play along using the currently selected sound. When we showed a 14 year old musical ingenue how to jam along to her favourite three-chord wonders from the playlist on her phone, she was instantly hooked, and moved to admit that she now wished she’d taken Music as a GCSE instead of History - quite a result!

Full-size Piano Keys are an essential part of learning the key techniques when playing piano. Cheaper, budget keyboards often utilise 'springy' synth-style keys that feel completely different to a proper Grand Piano.

More specifically, this piano’s keys are too light for advanced players, but they are just fine for beginners. If you’re not in urgent need of a piano, you might want to wait for our review on that keyboard. At the moment, we’re still looking for a test unit. MASTER TUNING. The central tuning of the middle A can be modified from 415.3 Hz – 466.2 Hz. The default is 440 HzFirst of all, many of today’s digital pianos use stereo samples, which sometimes require two or even more notes for each key played.
